What you can eat here
Pulled from Gluto's celiac safety report for this location.
✅ Reported safe options
- Market Table items (gluten-free, with breads kept separate or clearly indicated)
- Meats served tableside (generally gluten-free; confirm any marinades or sauces with staff)
- Pão de Queijo / Brazilian cheese bread served at the table (gluten-free)
- Crème brûlée (gluten-free in many accounts)
- Mashed potatoes and other plain sides that are marked or described as GF
- Seared or plain entrees that are labeled GF and brought to the table or buffet with allergen lists
⚠️ Risks & cross-contamination
- Not a dedicated gluten-free facility, so cross-contamination risk exists if the kitchen handles gluten-containing items in shared spaces or tools.
- Some items historically noted as non-GF include certain breads at the market table and a few meat preparations (e.g., certain chicken items or marinades with beer). Marinades and processing methods can vary by location and time.
- Some desserts or processed sides may contain gluten; staff or allergen lists should be consulted to confirm safety.
- Fried items (like polenta fries) can be prepared in shared fryers in some reports; asking for fryer practices is prudent.
- The experience can be highly dependent on staff knowledge and adherence to allergen guides, so requesting the allergen booklet/list and having a manager walk you through the options remains important, especially for first-time visits or during busy times.
